Answer» Solution :By IODOFORM test. 1-Phenylethanol contains the grouping -CHOH-`CH_(3)` linked to carbon and hence GIVES iodoform test while 2-phenylethanol does not contains the grouping -`CHOH-CH_(3)` and hence does not give iodoform test. `underset("1-Phenylethanol")(C_(6)H_(5)-CHOH-CH_(3)) overset(I_(2)//NaOH) to underset("Iodoform")(CHI_(3)): underset("2-Phenylethanol")(C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH) overset(I_(1)//NaOH)to ` No reaction. |
